 Does anyone know if anyone in the UK has still got an original C6 on the road AKA:

 There's certainly one, GP 1176, with a Weymann body. It did run, but that was some years ago. It's the same as the photo, although the red is a little darker!

The C6 mk1 was in about 1930, and for about 2 years. Then came the revolution, aka the Traction Avant.....

 Don't know about the UK but there is one in Aruba owned by Joaquim Kelkboom. Noticed this when registering my C6 and being suprised another C6 was already present in the database but its build year was registered as 1930 something. I asked Joaquim and he told me he still drives it during the yearly classic car parade (and only then).

 I know someone, and have seen their C6 that is in black. It appears largely in solid condition but I couldn't see it fully as it was hemmed in with other vehicles. It's been off the road since 1965 and has sat in his barn since, and the chances of it returning to the road are slim.

Shame, but you never know as he said he 'might' get it out sometime.

 Hi Dave, there was an original C4 as well. Contemporary to the original C6. The C6 and C4 were actually revolutionary for Citroen for their time: Americal steel pressing technology was used for the first time by Citroen and that was the test for the Traction.

PS 6 cylinders for one 4 for the other?
